There's a deeper guide about how to save your device in the FAQ, you may want to give a look ;).

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shpitz461:
This morn I accidently flashed a zip of TWRP into the recovery partition, instead of the img file. Got the RSD Mode 3 thingy.

What I did was this:

open a cmd windows, and issue a

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot says 'waiting for device'.

I then rebooted the XOOM with power + vol-up.

Once I saw the Moto logo, I pressed vol-down, and kept pressing it.

After a second or two, fastboot kicked in and flashed the recovery img file.

I then rebooted the tablet and everything is fine!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kovaelin:
I was scouring the forums for a while when this happened to me. I was about to go and buy that cable, but it seems it was not needed. It seems that flashboot works as long as you manage to prevent it from booting into RSD Mode 3. For me, it was attempting to use the same method to access recovery mode.

This post was incredibly helpful: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14826570&postcount=41

Because there seem to be great inconsistency about which buttons to push and when to push them, I feel that I should share the official method listed here (Perform a factory reset using external keys - Step 2), which should be the same as with the first Xoom: https://support.motorola.com/anz/en/solution/MS74938

Hopefully, this spares someone from destroying those mushy buttons any faster than necessary.
[Atrix 4G General] designgears:
Hey, just ran across this little fact sheet from motorola, I know we have a leaked build hanging around too but here is something official.

http://mediacenter.motorola.com/Fact-Sheets/Motorola-ATRIX-4G-Fact-Sheet-353b.aspx
[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
good find. Lets hope they realize that 2.3 is a waste and to skip to 2.4 gingerbread with dual core capabilities
[Atrix 4G General] daveop:
If they packaged it with a bootloader unlock they could make a lot of folks long time motorola users. I love everything else about my phone. Can live with it either way but I can dream
[Atrix 4G General] FNugget:
What daveop said. As of now, I would totally be willing to go through switch carriers after this. This better be a worthwhile update (or updates, which ever is faster).
[Atrix 4G General] pfaction:
I wonder if it'll still be a Motoblur based update...
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
It doesn't make sense for motorola to remove blur. They actually advertised the "feature". If they remove it, lots of people will complain (not us, but we are on a different demographic)

So, don't get your hopes up, expect blur. And don't expect 2.4 either, we already know they are working on 2.3. 2.4 doesn't even have a release date yet people.
[Atrix 4G General] ikenley:
They would never just drop MotoBlur, they have probably spent a lot of time and money on it.

I just want an unlocked bootloader. The Dev's are better at maximizing the phone's potential than the manufacturers.
[Atrix 4G General] jpasint:
Ok, someone has to be the pessimist and say it; what does "this year" mean?
[Atrix 4G General] sdlopez83:
Def, If we where in September I wouldn't mind but we could be waiting long. lol
[Atrix 4G General] Smokeaire:
"Later this year" = Don't hold your breath.
[Atrix 4G General] ANDY12001:
It just a holy crap.

Motorola never update
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
Holy crap. it says they will enable 1080p streaming in an update!

Maybe they will enable HDMI mirroring along with it
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
Hopefully by "Later this year", they don't mean December or so.
[Atrix 4G General] psufan5:
Realistically speaking if you want 2.4 on a phone, you will have to get one of the newest phones coming out - Galaxy S 2 etc. This phone wont see that until next summer at earliest.
[Atrix 4G General] kenio8185:
Knowing moto, they're gonna wait as long as possible, so December 31st at 11:59pm.

However, if you live in Canada (like me), they'll give us a later date, then lie about it.

So for us it would be early q1 of 2012, but then at early q1 of 2012, the update still isn't given (this is what's happening with the milestone right now, it was suppose to get 2.2 at early q1 of 2011, and they still didn't give us 2.2, and early q1 is over already).
[Atrix 4G General] eallan:
Haha, where do people get this stuff? /sigh
[Atrix 4G General] NoNameAtAll:
I do hope it comes sooner for those who really want it.

Personally speaking, and this really is personal, I'm still getting used to using Froyo as the Atrix is my first smartphone. That isn't to say I don't want the update to come soon, of course. But at least there's plenty to play around with and learn up until that point.
[Atrix 4G General] cegna09:
well that's funny, considering that when you look at what manufacturers release updates, Motorola is #2, only behind HTC.

I'm also betting AT&T will get better about updating now that iphone exclusivity is gone. I think the captivate froyo update is soon if not already around, and the Aria is getting froyo soon too.
[Atrix 4G General] Smallsmx3:
From what i understand motorola was one of the faster manufacturers to get out updates.....anything will be better than samsung....my captivate is just now getting official froyo and its not even 2.2.1
[Atrix 4G General] NoNameAtAll:
Samsung's that bad, huh.

Yeah, from what I have read, Motorola's pretty good with their flagship devices. Comparatively of course.
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
I just forgot mention this, but the last 18 february was a conference here in méxico city. was for android sponsored by motorola he was part of software team, was the first time I see the atrix in real in fact before release date. I ask a lot of things about bootloader and explain me why it's "encrypted" in few words if we brick the device they will not know if was a custom rom, bad installation(well we all know this)

The thing is,i ask when will be available for méxico since use same bands as at&t, he told me we can buy it in april.i ask about GB update and he told me it will have GB and not froyo like the usa version.so maybe will not take so long before we can see GB, PERHAPS I want ice cream too since GB bring to few on the table IMHO

[Atrix 4G General] AceoStar:
Maybe it's my optimism shining through, but with the recent influx of AT&T phones getting Froyo, paired with the sheer push behind making the Atrix their flagship device, I really want to believe they'll keep the Atrix rolling with timely updates.
[Atrix 4G General] psufan5:
The phone really needs at least 2.3.. im sorry but its sluggish.
[Atrix 4G General] dwd3885:
Well I would compare this to the Droid X. Froyo out in May, X out in July, it got 2.2 in what, September?

So the Atrix out in Feb, 2.3 out in December (BUT We're waiting for 2.4 right? No need for 2.3) so I'd be willing to say by June we'll see Gingerbread.
[Atrix 4G General] dwd3885:
mine is fast. Using adw.
[Atrix 4G General] Ririal:
It's like you didn't even read? 2.2 has dual core support. It's app specific support past that.
[Atrix 4G General] MarcMaiden:
I've learned my lesson...Never buy a phone expecting an update.

I am happy with 2.2, if 2.3-4 comes to this phone great! even better!

What i care for right now is devs getting more tegra 2 supported stuffs on the market (some of the stuff ive seen so far gives great potential :) )

and a better integration of video chatting.

plus i know our good friends over at designgears or any of the other talented devs on these forums will get us gingerbread soon enough ;)
[Atrix 4G General] cegna09:
oh god, where is my rolling around laughing icon from other forums.

Engadget is lucky that they guess half of the stuff they report correctly.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
What exactly are you comparing it to that makes it slugish? Mine has never bogged or anything besides updating like 15 apps at once and when I reboot and play with it while it's loading everything still. Even then it's fine/usable. I'm running DG's rom and ADW launcher, I guess give that a shot and if that doesn't fix it being sluggish I guess hold out for 2.8, I hear you won't have to touch the screen anymore it reads your mind.
[Atrix 4G General] Smith7018:
It's obvious that Motorola is actually working on 2.3, we have a leaked build in the Dev section! It's coming eventually.

NOTE: THE BUILD DOES NOT IN ANY WAY WORK! DON'T GO THERE THINKING YOU COULD HAVE GINGERBREAD!
[Atrix 4G General] scarf1:
I had Cyanogen7 w/2.3 on my Nexus One and yes it was nice, but aside from aesthetics it didn't seem any faster then 2.2. Sure it had the nice orange flash when you reached the end of a scrolled menu, and the new Gingerboard keyboard was just as unusable as any other Android keyboard (although I am liking Moto's Swype keyboard edition!) Any older Android update to 2.2 was a huge improvement, but 2.2 to 2.3... not so big! Even with 2.2, my Quadrant scores are almost twice as fast on my Atrix then my N1, so much for it not supporting dual core! Sure this phone should have come with 2.3, it amazes me that new Android phones don't have the newest Android release, especially a superphone like this one! But I think once ATT fixes this 3g 4g radio thing, this phone will really fly!

As far as Motoblur... I don't understand everyone's problem with it... I love i... oh wait, I have LauncherPro on mine... never mind!
[Atrix 4G General] spielnicht:
Nice! Still, Gingerbread doesn't bring anything THAT exciting except perhaps for the better battery management and SIP.

I think people who dis Motoblur so much have never used a plain vanilla Android phone. I used to think it was the way to go or nothing, but after trading in my Nexus One for the Atrix, I have no clue how I tolerated the N1 for a whole year. Android is an awesome OS, but delivered unfinished in my opinion by Google...which is completely acceptable. It's up to the vendors to polish it up and make it yet more user friendly. Forget the skins, that's not what I'm talking about. Take the stock (2.2+) Gallery App, it's an absolute flashy piece of junk, completely unusable. Moto's on the other hand, simple, yet powerful and awesome. I can go on and on, but you get the message.
[Atrix 4G General] Ceverson70:
It will be 2.4 only phone maker with access to 2.3 is samsung it was an exclusivity thing because if nexus s
[Atrix 4G General] eallan:
Absolutely could not agree less. I used an n1 for a year as well. I disagree with your entire post.
[Atrix 4G General] co.ag.2005:
The bolded part... I agree with you whole-heartedly! I hated that 3D Gallery app on my N1. it was slow. While the moto's gallery app is far from flashy, it is very usable and very fast.
[Atrix 4G General] spielnicht:
That's your opinion.
[Atrix 4G General] Smith7018:
Right. I can't read your post due to it being only one sentence, so I'm going to just move on.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Gingerbread's number one feature the fact that it's GPU accelerated? Don't quote me on that, though.
[Atrix 4G General] wade7919:
the atrix will more than likely end up with 2.3.3 or the 2.4 version, 2.3 was said to be only for the Google Flagship phones.. nexus and nexus s.

the reason the newer phones are still running on 2.2 is because they was developed when the 2.2 was released which means thats what it was being developed for. so we could of waited another 2 months for GB to be on the phone but then thats another 2 months away before the phone would be slated for release.

as it stands the GB release really won't upgrade a whole lot. but it will upgrade some things that will make the phone faster. The phone is fast as hell now so i'd like to see what GB brings us.. I would expect GB between may and august of this year, an if we get Honeycomb it will be q1 next year more than likely
[Atrix 4G General] richB7:
Speed on my evo with 2.3.2 is much better. Battery life, better. Wimax, faster. All thanks to a vibrant developer community and an unlocked boot loader. Don't kid yourselves, you're rationalizing your purchase.

reading this got me second guessing on getting the atrix tomorrow, got me thinking i should just keep my aria and get the iphone 4
[Atrix 4G General] scottosan:
Froyo is dual core capable, who told you it was not?
[Atrix 4G General] hotleadsingerguy:
Ahh this annoys me *SO* much. So much misconception from the average ignorant user.

Motorola specially designed 2.2 (and is specially designing 2.3) to take advantage of the dual-core processor. It takes complete advantage of it...it uses both cores.

Nobody else is getting sick of seeing this every day?
[Atrix 4G General] diablo009:
+1

u won't get 2700-3000 scores on quadrant and 37+ linpack scores on just one core!
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
and more than likely a touch of overclocking. You're really trying to say you get better battery life and better WiMax (by that i'm assuming you mean 3G/4G connection) speed because of the development community and an unlocked bootloader? ..... good one. I get 30Mbit download speeds from my 15Mbit connection when i'm running a hacked version of Linux. See what i did there?
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
Yeah go ahead and get something that you can do nothing with. Hope you having fun dropping calls slow processing fragile screen that will crack if dropped from about 2 inches onto a wooden table... come on guys help me come up with more reasons on why the iphone 4 is such a great device ...

P.S. Atrix is made with gorilla glass
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
I can't believe i'm saying this.... but A) I wouldn't exactly say the iPhone 4 is "slow processing"... it's actually quite quick. B) People seem to overemphasise "dropped calls". I had an iPhone 4 since it's release and i can't even count how many dropped calls i've had... not because i've had so many, but because i've had so few i wouldn't know where to start counting. Verizon recently dropped over 10,000 calls to 911 during a blizzard in Virginia or something..... pretty sure that one-up's all the claims of dropped calls with the iPhone 4 by several notches. C) The iPhone 4 uses Gorilla Glass too... for both the front and back. D) i doubt it only takes 2 inches onto a wooden table. maybe whipped as hard as possible and releasing the phone 2 inches from the surface. and E) There's already been a thread right here on the XDA forums of someone having broken their Atrix screen by dropping it.

Never used a screen protector on my iPhone 4.... always carried it in my pocket.... and the screen is still just as prestine as the day i got it... which was a day or two before it's release.

Soooooo...... was that enough reasons for you? I kinda lost track of how many that was.

But in all honesty.... i don't really miss using my iPhone 4 compared to the Atrix. It's just nice not having to rely on iTunes for ANYTHING.... let alone EVERYTHING.
[Atrix 4G General] tommyz2kool:
He's saying WiMax on his EVO is faster than the Atrix, not that WiMax is faster because of a custom ROM.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
And the only reason so far that his WiMax on the Evo is faster than on the Atrix is because of an issue on AT&T's end that should be fixed soon..... which kinda makes the idea of even bringing it up relatively moot.
[Atrix 4G General] nucentury08:
You can hit 2600 quadrant on nexus s we'll I do on my nexus s but I had to you know well lol you know hint hint kernel roms Haha but my atrix stock hits 2700 2800 all day

[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
Litterally loled.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
My n1 can get a score of 40 in linpack, so its faster than my atrix only getting 38 right? Not even close. The only reason any sgs phone can hit 2500+ in quadrant is because the file system is scoring like 1000 higher that it realistically should (with no speed increase). The reason the atrix is getting 2800 is because it's destroying the cpu bench pretty much.
[Atrix 4G General] G1-8701:
i was saying that because i've been seeing some good stuff about it, but also a lot of bad, especially the bootloader situation, and that it may not get an update til later on in the year, and if the bootloader can't be cracked then does that mean no custom roms? cause if so then that just made my decision there, i don't like stock phones, i mean yea the atrix is great, but i want full customization like i have on my aria
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
Understandable I agree the iphone does get its regular updates on its os BUT I know plenty of people with the 3GS that received IOS4 and it slowed their phone to the point where it was almost unusable so constant regular updates might not always be a good idea. As for the signed bootloader im sure the devs will figure it out
[Atrix 4G General] NonovUrbizniz:
I'll tell you I got the phone with faith it would be cracked eventually... but after using it I REALLY don't see the need.

Even if you couldn't remove blur I'd keep it stock. Short of them rooting it and getting 2.3/2.4 AND Honeycomb on it (for the laptop dock) or FULL Ubuntu. I'm leaving this thing as it came out of the box... It's sick.

I haven't even rooted it... and don't even care... had my diamond backup all setup... literally couldn't care less at this point. this phone with all the docks is SOOO sick on it's own.

Gingerbread and customization would be nice but it is NOT a deal breaker for me anymore, I could live with this phone as is forever.

Hulu, RDP, Full screen browsing, HTPC, GPS, Laptop... it's replaced like 2k worth of **** in my life... and lightened the load too.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
That means that it brings compatibility with honeycomb apps not dual core...man...people need to LEARN ENGLISH!

"English mf'er, do you speak it?!"

"Honeycomb apps" is the noun. "Dual-core" is an adjective; it describes the noun. English 101, people.

[Atrix 4G General] AJ3000:

[Atrix 4G General] eatkabab:
Yeah man, the frikin speed! my eyes can't keep up! but my thumb is perfectly on par. oodles of battery too! oh and best of all, ATT isn't sucking so hard lately! Thank you for leaving us apple users!!! I <3 applenuts (the people and the trail mix)
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
iOS updates are rarely content updates. It's most, if not always, an update to stop jailbreaking and unlocking (patching the exploits dev team/chronic dev creates) If there was no jailbreaking on the iPhone, updates to the OS would be a lot less than they are now.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
that is simple not true. Read before typing nonsense. Lots of bug fixes and new features as well

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
Yes... they fix a lot of bugs.... but in PixoNova's defense... for the most part, the new "features" they add are either things you'd kind of hope they could do to begin with, or things that just make people say "Meh". Take AirPrint for example. WOO!!! You can now PRINT..... from your iDevice! Unfortunately, at this time you need one of these select few HP printers. And.... chances are you probably already have a computer.... so why not just print what you wanted to print from your iDevice from your computer on the printer you have that you really don't need to upgrade to an "AirPrint compatible" model?

In the entire time i had my iPhone 4 and was running a version of iOS since 4.1... i have never used Game Center. HDR photography is meh. The only point for using it basically seemed to be making your photos look like they WEREN'T taken by a camera that absolutely sucks in relatively low light. Pretty much the only additions that i found WONDERFUL between Pre-iOS 4 (on my iPhone 3GS) and Post-iOS 4 (on my iPhone 4).... were app folders..... and the LED flash(light). And can't even call the second one a feature of the OS since it was a feature of the phone. So yeah.... it may have "feature updates".... but i highly doubt anybody praises them all that much. Even FaceTime is a joke. Now that i have the Atrix and can video chat with pretty much anybody that has a capable phone, i probably STILL won't.... because it's just dumb.
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
They disguise the jailbreak patches as "content" updates. I've been using the iPhone since 1.0, and I've been jailbroken since it was first available. I can see when an update is bullcrap or not, and most of them are.

1.1.2, 3.0.1, 3.1.3, 3.2.2 (this one was actually needed though), 4.0.2, 4.2.1.

Those were just the ones I can list off the top of my head. If it wasn't for jailbreaking, there'd be far less updates. Plain and simple.
[Atrix 4G General] Aielman:
Yeah...I was pretty much thinking the same thing. Which random forum quote did they base that tidbit on?
[Atrix 4G General] pfaction:
As a person who has dropped it in the train station onto cold, hard concrete with nary a scratch except on the back, lol at you. I've also thrown this across the table and surprise! Nothing.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
Some versions indeed were due to jailbreaking, but because they exposed security flaws. The most famous version is the one they released to patch the pdf exploit that was used for jailbreakme.com.

It seems that you don't know what a minor and a major version are. Bug fixes are always X.X.Y, ie 3.1.2->3.1.3 while major versions are 4.1->4.2. You can't deny that major versions indeed always have new features. For example, now i am enjoying "find my ipod" for free to locate, wipe, lock and send messages to my device from a webpage. 4.2 brought multitasking to the ipad, etc.

And 4.3 will be released soon, for devices a year and a half old (iphone 3gs and up, ipod 3g and up). That's 3.1.X, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 for those devices.

The good thing about apple devices is that they don't need carriers to release their software, unlike google that releases their os and we need carriers to make it happen or have an unlocked device that hackers can tap into.
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
I obviously do know which ones are bug fix patches, since that's all I listed. If you had paid attention to which ones I listed.

It still stands. A lot of the firmware updates for iOS are jailbreak closers.

But yes, I agree. That's the beauty of apple devices. Dedicated firmware releases free from the clutch of carriers. Although I don't approve of them dropping updates completely for older devices.

For some reason recently after installing the fix that keeps the wifi always on my proximity sensor stopped working properly.
